Not Your Typical Tamil Wedding

Toronto Life recently profiled the unique and quirky wedding of Lavan Srinarayanadas, a doctor, and Michelle Bigold, who works in advertising. Having little interest in holding a traditional wedding, the couple opted for a low-key, backyard patio wedding at Cold Tea in Kensington Market (where you can get dumplings and drinks). According to the couple “We just wanted a big party with good food and good music.” This of course is a big shift from typical Tamil weddings which are held in lavish banquet halls with hundreds of guests and take months to prepare.
